About this Retreat
Anne is a Vinyasa & Yin Yoga teacher, Sound Healer & Ayurveda expert & chef. After living many years in Berlin, she decided to follow her dream and move to Portugal to Ericeira, where the retreat takes place.
Being a typical Vata personality, she has been suffering from digestive problems & mental breakdown. Ayurveda & Yoga have helped Anne to find back her balance and ease her digestion. Since then, she became passionate about the concept of Ayurveda and has done several trainings including travels into Ayurveda ashrams & Panchakarma centers in India.
Anne has been teaching Yoga & holding space for retreats since 2020. Since following the Yoga path, she has done over 800h of training in Vinyasa Yoga, Yoga Sequencing, Yin Yoga, Sound Healing, Ayurveda nutrition & cooking, as well as Mantra & Bhakti Yoga. She regularly travels to India to understand Yoga & Ayurveda better & to deepen her practice.
In her work, she likes to bring all these elements, as well as her own experiences and travels.
Júlia is a certified teacher of Hatha, Yin, Nidra, Kundalini Yoga and Sound Healing as well as a dance performer and bodyworker. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, she maintains a special connection with Portugal and its culture. Currently, she is based in Berlin.
Her holistic journey includes a Reiki initiation and hypnosis training in 2017. In 2018, she completed her first Yoga Teacher Training at a classical yoga school following the teachings of Swami Sivananda. Her approach blends embodiment practices with Eastern techniques of movement, meditation, breathwork, and deep relaxation. Nowadays, she accumulates 600h in teacher training.
Júlia offers regular classes in Berlin and focuses on providing teacher training both online and in South India. Since 2023, she has been leading retreats, including her first women’s wealth retreat in São Paulo, Brazil.
She places great importance on respecting the traditions of yoga to ensure a safe and healthy practice, integrating dance and sound as pathways to regeneration and rebirth, inspired by Śiva Natarāja.

I’m Anne Gocht — a Vinyasa & Yin Yoga teacher, Sound Healer & Ayurvedic chef with over 1,000 hours of training in Yoga, Sound Healing & Ayurveda. For the past 5 years, I’ve been guiding yoga classes, workshops, trainings & (of course) retreats that combine ancient practices with a modern, holistic approach to living.
Originally from Germany, I followed my heart to Portugal and now live in Ericeira; a place that feels like home. Here, I feel deeply connected, creating community through Yoga, Sound Healing & Ayurveda. My journey spans over 10 years of self-practice, with regular travels to India to continue learning. I live & breathe Yoga and Ayurveda, I hope I can share with you to discover your own path of holistic health & healing.

✨ 𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 with Tibetan singing bowls — a practice I fell in love with for its profound calming effect on the nervous system. It helps cleanse our emotional & energetic field, and I feel so grateful to share it with you.
✨ 𝒀𝒐𝒈𝒂 — dynamic Vinyasa flows to activate your life force, traditional Pranayama to expand your energy, and soft Yin Yoga to surrender, release & integrate.
✨ 𝑨𝒚𝒖𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒅𝒂 — the timeless sister science of Yoga, which has transformed my own life. More than nutrition, it’s a holistic path that connects body, mind & soul, showing us how everything is deeply interwoven.
I love holding space for people to reconnect with themselves & witnessing the transformation that happens when we return to our roots. 🌿 Beyond the mat, I’m always happy to share my favorite local tips so you can explore the magic of Portugal — from Lisbon & Sintra to hidden beaches & coastal gems.
My intention is to create a safe, nurturing space where you can find balance, joy & the essence of who you truly are. Cannot wait to welcome you. ❤️
